Wow. I am always amazed when I get a call from a collection agency. For my own personal finances I have NEVER gotten a call. I have the money gene which means I pay my bills and I pay them on time. I never make other things a priority. I tend not to spend above my means. Doesn't mean I haven't carried a credit card balance....I have back in the day with kids. Learned a lot since then......won't be carrying one now with kids.
When I got married there were a couple of calls from Dave's past. We took care of those and never again. Until now. Seems Dave has a balance on his VISA and no one has paid the bill. I passed on the relevant numbers to the woman who called. Then I called the attorney. Now Jill explained that Doug does not HAVE to pay them until the notice to creditors expires. Okay. I'm sure the creditor is looking at it like it has been over four months since death and that is when the ad USUALLY runs out. So time for them to make calls.
Luckily for me it is not my problem. Other than having to take that call. Wonder how many more of them I am going to get? Because if one bill wasn't taken care of I'm sure none were.
